Checking if the one who declared a radar false alarm is moving or not, because if not he's a cop
If I just passed a radar and declared it, the cop can just mark it as false, but the cop (in most countries) has static location, so why not checking if the one who declared it as false is moving or not.

Potholes are removed by bad actors
I drive rideshare and diligently mark devastating potholes just for them to be removed moments later. There may be bad actors in high clearance vehicles with big tires removing these, or just people that don't see them from a different lane. It's likely many just want the notification off screen and mindlessly downvote. It needs to be more difficult to get rid of pothole reports, or allow us a setting to make recent reports more persistent regardless of downvotes.

Report Button/Police Reporting
When I report something the Report button on the bottom right turns to hearts for a second showing 5 points or whatever for reporting but the issue is that I can't quickly report another until that goes away which is particularly annoying when I'm trying to report police in the median who can knab both sides. What I use to do is file my side Police→Hidden/Visible in 2 secs then I'd quickly hit report again and hit Police→Other Side so that the two reports weren't too far off from each other on the map. So getting rid of the hearts…

CLOSED STREET REPORT IMPROVEMENT
Hello,
I would like to suggest an improvement of Waze driver interface. Specifically cleaning up and making it easier for the driver to report a street live street closure. When doing that, the map that pops out makes it very difficult to recognize which street we want to indicate that is closed. Cleaning this option up and adding street names would greatly improve ability to report it and warn other drivers.
Thank you in advance

Crime Hazards
Add additional hazards for crime, such as: aggressive panhandlers, squeegee boys, people doing wheelies or donuts in the middle of the street, street racing, ect. Most people would like to avoid that activity.

Road block
Please add an impassible object blocking road report and once verified by at least 2 different users please have the app route users around the object for 24 to 48 hours so people aren’t turning around in the street. When objects block the road and the waze app keeps sending people down it it creates problems

Hazard Alert - Animal on Road
Could there please be some sort of function within Waze that could give the user the opportunity to report deceased animals along the road so that the competent entities could come and collect them? Or even for pets that were just run down for a vet to come or something? Could it be connected to automatically give the competent entities the location of the animal? It’s a win-win for everyone and it keeps our road safe. Also, for objects on the road, while I’m not sure what entity would be responsible for removing them, somehow also connect to the responsible…

Allow photo evidence of map errors
Allow photo evidence of map errors.
Sometimes trying to explain what error happened while driving is difficult to upload (while driving) and difficult to explain (after the fact) but allowing someone to upload a photo of the map when it is performing an error is much easier. It’s 2024. Why isn’t this a thing yet?

Report when you stopped driving

When reporting police please
When you report police you should be able to have an icon for rbt and rdt (random breath test and drug test) 100% this would have a massive impact on who uses the app

Wildlife
Within the hazards section there should be a report button for wildlife helping warn motorists to remain vigilant, which when reported also sends an alert to the respective wildlife protection agency in that region to send a dispatch to prevent the animal from causing an accident and becoming injured. This would be extremely useful in Australia as we have an abundance of wildlife that resides near our roads .

Reporting closures
As a police officer I try to use waze to report road closures to assist gps users by rerouting them. Often it's impossible to accurately do this because it won't let you report a closure on a spot you are currently on. App only let's you close the other roads around your location. I've tried temporarily relocating also. Need to make it easier to do this report.

iOS App: fewer taps to report incidents?
Feature request: Please allow custom shortcuts for reporting common items like "Car on Shoulder" or "Police" or "Crash". Maybe users can select which ones to have directly on the map display screen.
Right now, it takes 4 taps on the screen to report "Car on shoulder".
Hazard (the yellow triangle)
Hazard (another yellow triangle!!!)
Car on shoulder
ReportThat is too many. I would put an icon for this this directly on the map screen. This is the most common interaction I have with Waze while driving.

Add ability to report road closures at railroad crossings
Currently, you are only able to report road closures at intersections. As we all know, the road closures don't only occur at intersections. It would be nice if we could report a road closure at, let's say, for instance, a railroad crossing. Giving us the ability to report road closures at places other than intersections will allow us to plan our route more accurately and avoid us having to learn about time wasting detours the hard way.
